You acknowledge and agree that there are numerous risks associated with purchasing Creator Protocol CRE, holding Creator Protocol CRE, and using Creator Protocol CRE for participation in the CREATOR PROTOCOL. In the worst scenario, this could lead to the loss of all or part of the Creator Protocol CRE which had been purchased. IF YOU DECIDE TO PURCHASE Creator Protocol CRE, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE, ACCEPT AND ASSUME THE FOLLOWING RISKS:
1- Uncertain Regulations and Enforcement Actions: The regulatory status of Creator Protocol CRE and distributed ledger technology is unclear or unsettled in many jurisdictions. The regulation of virtual currencies has become a primary target of regulation in all major countries in the world. It is impossible to predict how, when or whether regulatory agencies may apply existing regulations or create new regulations with respect to such technology and its applications, including Creator Protocol CRE and/or the CREATOR PROTOCOL. Regulatory actions could negatively impact Creator Protocol CRE and/or the CREATOR PROTOCOL in various ways. The Company, the Distributor (or their respective affiliates) may cease operations in a jurisdiction in the event that regulatory actions, or changes to law or regulation, make it illegal to operate in such jurisdiction, or commercially undesirable to obtain the necessary regulatory approval(s) to operate in such jurisdiction. After consulting with a wide range of legal advisors and continuous analysis of the development and legal structure of virtual currencies, a cautious approach will be applied towards the sale of Creator Protocol CRE. Therefore, for the token sale, the sale strategy may be constantly adjusted in order to avoid relevant legal risks as much as possible. For the token sale, the Company and the Distributor are working with the specialist blockchain experts.
2- Inadequate disclosure of information: As at the date hereof, the CREATOR PROTOCOL is still under development and its design concepts, consensus mechanisms, algorithms, codes, and other technical details and parameters may be constantly and frequently updated and changed. Although this white paper contains the most current information relating to the CREATOR PROTOCOL, it is not absolutely complete and may still be adjusted and updated by the CREATOR PROTOCOL team from time to time. The CREATOR PROTOCOL team has no ability and obligation to keep holders of Creator Protocol CRE informed of every detail (including development progress and expected milestones) regarding the project to develop the CREATOR PROTOCOL, hence insufficient information disclosure is inevitable and reasonable.
3- Competitors: Various types of decentralised applications and networks are emerging at a rapid rate, and the industry is increasingly competitive. It is possible that alternative networks could be established that utilise the same or similar code and protocol underlying Creator Protocol CRE and/or the CREATOR PROTOCOL and attempt to re-create similar facilities. The CREATOR PROTOCOL may be required to compete with these alternative networks, which could negatively impact Creator Protocol CRE and/or the CREATOR PROTOCOL.
4- Loss of Talent: The development of the CREATOR PROTOCOL greatly depends on the continued co-operation of the existing technical team and expert consultants, who are highly knowledgeable and experienced in their respective sectors. The loss of any member may adversely affect the CREATOR PROTOCOL or its future development. Further, stability and cohesion within the team is critical to the overall development of the CREATOR PROTOCOL. There is the possibility that conflict within the team and/or departure of core personnel may occur, resulting in negative influence on the project in the future.
5- Failure to develop: There is the risk that the development of the CREATOR PROTOCOL will not be executed or implemented as planned, for a variety of reasons, including without limitation the event of a decline in the prices of any digital asset, virtual currency or Creator Protocol CRE, unforeseen technical difficulties, and shortage of development funds for activities.
6- Security weaknesses: Hackers or other malicious groups or organisations may attempt to interfere with Creator Protocol CRE and/or the CREATOR PROTOCOL in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, malware attacks, denial of service attacks, consensus-based attacks, Sybil attacks, smurfing and spoofing. Furthermore, there is a risk that a third party or a member of the Company, the Distributor or their respective affiliates may intentionally or unintentionally introduce weaknesses into the core infrastructure of Creator Protocol CRE and/or the CREATOR PROTOCOL, which could negatively affect Creator Protocol CRE and/or the CREATOR PROTOCOL. Further, the future of cryptography and security innovations are highly unpredictable and advances in cryptography, or technical advances (including without limitation development of quantum computing), could present unknown risks to Creator Protocol CRE and/or the CREATOR PROTOCOL by rendering ineffective the cryptographic consensus mechanism that underpins that blockchain protocol.
7- Other risks: In addition, the potential risks briefly mentioned above are not exhaustive and there are other risks (as more particularly set out in the Terms and Conditions) associated with your purchase, holding and use of Creator Protocol CRE, including those that the Company or the Distributor cannot anticipate. Such risks may further materialise as unanticipated variations or combinations of the forementioned risks. You should conduct full due diligence on the Company, the Distributor, their respective affiliates, and the CREATOR PROTOCOL team, as well as understand the overall framework, mission and vision for the CREATOR PROTOCOL prior to purchasing Creator Protocol CRE.
